SLAYER AIM FOR THE “WORST VIDEO EVER” AWARD WITH “WORLD PAINTED BLOOD”

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 at 2:00pm by

I love Slayer with all my being, but there are only three words to describe this video: Ho. Lee. Shit.

Slayer, why the fuck didn’t you call me? I’d of lent you ten bucks. That would have tripled your budget!

And why does this seem kinda familiar? Oh, yeah:

Good company to be in.

    It looks like Kerry and Jeff are giving handjobs to their guitars.

    • OBEY1019

      hahahah I thought the same thing!

    Where are Beavis and Butthead when you need them?

      This

  • cougar party

    This cannot be real. Seriously. It so bad in such an awful and strange way.

  • the devil’s advocate

    I think this vid has enough creep factor to keep anyone from mistaking Slayer for the next Metallica or anything. Besides, after 25 years they’re kind of in the Chickenfoot camp with no need to make some deeper artistic statement; get to the point, sell the song, call it a day.

    Speaking of Metallica, I see Crue got the Camp Chaos Metallica/Napster animators to do their videos now. I’m just noticing this now because I didn’t know they were still releasing videos (I say this with absolutely no sarcasm whatsoever).

    they’ve been watching too much metalokalypse

    • >_>

      THIS, I was really disappointed to not see metalocalypse footage after the jump, because its just too much like it, its a blatant rip off if you ask me, lol.

      • http://haggisbuffet.blogspot.com/ umlaut

        …. the video was done by Mark Brooks.. who does directs Metalocalypse.

        • Greg

          Too bad they didn’t go with a 100% Metalocalypse ripoff (animate the band instead of using the stop-motion photo treatment). It would have been better.

    Holy shit, that’s hilarious!!!! That makes Metallica’s “All Nightmare Long” look like Gone with the fucking Wind.

    • Kevin

      All nightmare long was a great video, Axl and Vince seemed to agree if I recall.

      • Mordecai 9000

        All Nightmare Long was fucking sick. One of the best music video ideas I’ve seen in a while.

  • ZeroTolerance

    Tom Goes To The Slayer

    • Poops

      Well played.

    Slayer’s never really had great music videos, but good lord that was awful.

  • Lorzeno

    Student project quality much?

    Also it looks like they’re just re-pasting mouths onto the same head ala south park. Why not just switch the heads? FOR FUCKS SAKE WHY NOT JUST PUT IN AN ACTUAL PERFOETGJAohbowp4jhpqwjbvpojwgpwhjpwhjwhojsohj…………….

    Oh dear Satan.

    Beavis and Butthead would have a field day with this!!

  • Johnny Death

    The Eric Cartman always killing hippies with his machines of death!

  • Perpetual Black Screen Name

    Nooooo! Dear God, that was terrible. hahaha It did make me laugh though. That was hilarious.

  • http://myspace.com/inbetweenjobs SKLives

    I like it…Its supposed to be over produced just like (our) pathetic lives as war hungry/fat/obsessed/lazy americans…Not to mention all the money masters.

    • metallicbrian666

      In other words, it sucks

      • TonyT

        OH now I get it….It’s supposed to suck so it’s actually good

  • mahkiavelli

    Oh my. This is up there with that animated video for “Bible Black”. I know it’s not that hard for Slayer to come up with decent videos – the “Eyes of the Insane” vid. was pretty good. Even the “Beauty Through Order” video was better than this – sure it was just a bunch of naked chicks writhing around in what looked like molasses, but at least it LOOKED cool. This is like 10th grade intro-to-video type shit. The video for this song should have looked like 28 days later…

  • Jizzmaster3000

    Reminded me of watching flash videos on dial-up back in the 90s.

  • metalguy

    song sucked too

  • Junior

    The Man From Glad is fucking EVIL!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kasper-Maigaard/1027001938 Kasper Maigaard

    This really has to be a joke. Please comment on this on the Livecast tonight. It’s like mash between Team America, South Park, Metalocalypse. Three individually awesome things, but even Slayer can’t save the atrocity you get when you combine the three.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kasper-Maigaard/1027001938 Kasper Maigaard

      Oh, and I just copied my own comment off of Metal Injection. Just to clarify the “livecast” part.

  • El Peras

    Why can’t I see the video? Is it only available for the States??

    • Howie

      Nope, I watched it up here in the great white north.

  • Beastmaster

    This is the 2nd most hideous thing I’ve ever seen that calls itself a music video.

    The first was Six Feet Under’s “Amerika The Brutal”

  • brandonmetal

    i disagree. even though it’s basically metalocalypse-lite, it’s much better than the basic lip-synching vids.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tom-Boyd/1682490002 Tom Boyd

    Slayer also goes for gayest song title ever.

  • meat mincing machine

    I think it’s pretty cool. It’s certainly different than the usual fare for music videos. And it’s a hell of a lot better than the last abortion of a video they did. That was just tits for the sake of tits, real lowest common denominator shit.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Devon-Czekaj/550092101 Devon Czekaj

    This looks like a fan made flash done by someone on Newgrounds.

    • Dysenteric

      You hit the nail on the head.

  • Mordecai 9000

    Every time I saw those tanks, I just couldn’t help but think: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2b/Tarkus.jpg

  • dude

    its different…but i like it

  • Bassquatch

    I wish I had a SkullHeaded TankFoot Robot, do you know how awesome school would have been with a pal like him around?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Andrew-Sterner/1335958279 Andrew Sterner

      I wish I hads a big pal, like him, he coulda carried me to schools!

  • Phil

    This video rules! You all are sheep.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-Shaw/617521768 Jason Shaw

    Personally, I lost it when the first shot of Araya came on. I think it’s hilarious. Reminds me more of Metalocalypse with a touch of South Park. It’s bad, but it makes me laugh and I am pretty sure Slayer intended on me enjoying this video more than you guys anyway.

  • msv81

    LOL WHAT THE FUCK? Are they serious? Horrible.

    I, too, love Slayer, but jesus christ this is awful. If they meant it as a joke they succeeded, otherwise….wow.

  • Fred Durst

    NEEDS MOAR SCARY SKULL SPIDERZ!!!11

    Lol, theres no way thats the official video right? Thats a decent song and they wouldnt job it out to some contest winner or something right? RIGHT!?!?

    Kinda cool idea but HORRIBLE execution

  • Karl J

    This reminds me of how happy I was that this site saved me some money when the record came out by previewing the long-form stop motion video that came with the ‘deluxe’ edition. It was equally as bad and almost doubled the cost of the cd as I recall.

    The CD is good and this is one of the better songs (even if it is a rehash of Angel of Death) – but I don’t need to waste time with this video. In their defense, actual live footage of them playing wouldn’t look a whole lot different, especially now that Araya literally can’t headbang anymore, so this vid is pretty accurate upon reflection.

  • joshkid

    I’ve got one word:
    WTF?!?!

  • Sambo

    Slayer in general just sucks period. The video is better than the band and any of their music combined.

  • Captain Wookie

    Proof that is not ok to abuse the interns, they produce videos like this

  • Patton

    The video doesn’t work and the link on their official site sends me to a Shakirra video. WTF ?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sara-Petrocelli/519197405 Sara Petrocelli

      Epic fail.

  • double dogg

    dosnt work for me either

  • seagoat

    Why is the spider skull playing a harmonica? I can’t even hear it in the song.

  • Axem

    With videos like this from one of the biggest metal band.. the genre is supposed to be taken seriously?

    I feel as if they dont give a shit about their videos and probably not a lot more about those who are going to watch it…

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

    They really, really, really like that “Playing With Dolls” animation style.

    You guys have no sense of humor, this video is awesome

    Whatever happened to looking all evil in Egypt?

  • harold

    Face palm!

    Really, if it wernt so funny….

  • CAPTAIN CAPSTAIN

    YOU HAVE NO DICK. THE VIDEO IS SHIT.

  • http://evilsausage.livejournal.com/ Evil

    The video’s a joke. They did it that way on purpose. That much is obvious, so stop with all the angst. Now that said:

    “I’d of lent you ten bucks?” Really? Axel, you’re smart enough to know better than that. I’m not even going to bother to finish correcting you.

  • Wes

    That’s the coolest episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force I’ve ever seen!
